Re: Copying SAMAccount names to "Name"
You might try something like NTSEC from pedestalsoftware.com to see if it will help. It is a suite of command line utilities, so you would need to create a batch file with the desired information, and then run the batch file.

Copying SAMAccount names to "Name"
Hi there,
Heres a good one!
We have 1200+ user accounts. We have a company "Global Shortname" standard for all our user accounts - 8 characters long.
We want to update all our "DirectoryName" fields with the contents of the "SAMAccount" attribute, on all our IDs.
We have tried using LDIFDE within a script, also tried ADSI Edit on the same attribute and get the same error for both methods - "Cannot change this attribute as it is owned by the system" - Although Users and Computers and Hyena can change these on a user by user basis.
Do you know of the way round this? I'm stuffed if I'm going through 1200 user IDs manually!!!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
